  Case: Group Work
In a high school literature class we do a lot of reading. I've tried reading aloud to the students, having them read in pairs, having students volunteer to read, but I still have students that will not read regardless of the strategy. Any suggestions of strategies that work for students who won't read by themselves, don't pay attention when others read, and goof off in groups?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have found that audiobooks are good interventions for non-readers. I also give quick 10 question multiple-choice quizzes after every couple chapters as well. This at the very least documents when the student is reading and when he is not.

Comments: This would be a very good way to test if the child is paying attention or not. It will also help determine what needs to happen next if the child won't even listen to an audio-book.
